None of Eck’s examples where living in a time of technological refiguring. Technological development always stay abreast of culture, but there are times when technology utterly outruns culture. In these times those who understand what how to leverage technology have a marked advantage over those who struggle to come to grips with it. Often such groups are peripheral but in time come to show the adulterated nature of the
